Electromagnetic and mechanical analysis of alternative magnetic divertor configurations for DEMO

The development of a reliable solution for the power and particle exhaust in a reactor is recognized as a major challenge towards the realization of DEMO. Alternative magnetic configurations such as Double Null, Snowflake, X and Super-X divertors are considered as a promising solution to reduce the heat load on the divertor targets even if their scalability on a DEMO size device is a challenging engineering problem.
